JavaScript RangeError | Precision is out of range
This JavaScript exception precision is out of range occurs if a number which is outside the range of 0 and 20 (or 21) is passed into toFixed(), toPrecision(), or toExponential() method.
Error Message:
RangeError: The number of fractional digits is out of range (Edge)
RangeError: The precision is out of range (Edge)
RangeError: precision {0} out of range (Firefox)
RangeError: toExponential() argument must be between 0 and 20 (Chrome)
RangeError: toFixed() digits argument must be between 0 and 20 (Chrome)
RangeError: toPrecision() argument must be between 1 and 21 (Chrome)
Error Type:
RangeError
What Happened?
There is a precision argument that is out of range in one of the methods, toExponential(), toFixed(), and toPrecision().
Example 1: In this example, the RangeError occurred as -100 to toFixed() is passed.

Output:
Example 2: In this example, the argument passed to toExponential() is -4, So the RangeError has occurred.
